Enjoy 2D and 3D in full 1080p

The Samsung PN60E550 may be exactly the sort of large-screen TV you've been looking for. Its crisp, clear picture will take your breath away, whether you're watching in 2D or 3D. Samsung's active 3D technology ensures that you'll enjoy full 1080p detail with 3D sources like a 3D Blu-ray player or 3D material via cable or satellite. This TV can also convert 2D video sources to 3D, adding a noticeable sense of depth. Samsung includes two pairs of 3D glasses so you can try out the 3D experience right away.

This web-savvy TV adds another level of fun

When you connect to your broadband Internet service you'll see why Samsung calls this a Smart TV. Built-in web apps let you instantly watch movies streamed from Netflix®, or catch up on TV shows you missed with Hulu Plus. There's tons more to explore, and if your PC is networked you can even search through the video and music you've stored on it using the TV's remote. The PN60E550's built-in Wi-Fi® gives you another way to take advantage of your wireless network.

The pros of plasma

If you're into picture quality, and you want a cinema-like home viewing experience, you owe it to yourself to check out plasma for your next TV. Plasma holds the edge when it comes to smooth motion and rich colors  high-def movies and TV shows look effortlessly real. Plasma's superior picture contrast and deep black levels are best enjoyed in rooms without a lot of windows or lamps, where you can dim or darken the lights.

Samsung PN60E550

I'm extremely pleased with dealing with Crutchfield for our new 3d Samsung with 3D BluRay combo. I was impressed with the Crutchfield tech and customer service people for questions I had along the way. Everything was delivered without even a scratch. Set up took less than an hour and the delivery person even helped me carry a very heavy 52" rear projection, that the new tv replaced, down a flight of stairs.

Pros:Crutchfield service, easy setup and value.

Cons:Although the BluRay player was shipped next day it took UPS 6 working days to deliver. I do not have the name of the delivery company that delivered the tv within 3 working days.
The tv sits in an entertainment console and the tv stand it mounts on isn't stable. The TV would most likely fall if console is rocked somehow. Samsung must be aware of this as they recommend a way to attache the tv to a wall with a teather but do not include it with the tv. Must be purchased seperately.

Just plain WOW!!!!!!

Arrived in two days!! Crutchfield customer service is the best!!! TV was Easy to setup! Picture is just plain awesome and I had to do little settings changes to my liking. It arrived just in time for the Super Bowl! Awesome watching game on this gem!

Samsung PN60E550 Smart TV

I was in the market for a new TV for the Super Bowl. This model was listed as a great buy, which caught my eye. Prices at local big-box stores weren't competitive, but Crutchfield offered for a good price with free shipping and free 3-D Blu-Ray player. Can't beat that! The TV arrived within 2 days and the Blu-Ray player in just three days! The TV was pretty easy to set up, easy connected to home wi-fi and streams NetFlix and other streaming services effortlessly. My only complaint is that when you play recorded movies back via the USB connection, there is no way to change the language or subtitles of the movie (at least that I can find).

Samsung PN60E550

Love the latest addition to my Plasma family. I find it ironic how people are willing to spend so much more for LED and yet give up motion rate and viewing angle to name a few. So much for "old technology". Crutchfield was an awesome experience by the way. I ordered 5 days before Christmas told them no rush and still received it in three days to Reno from VA.

Samsung 60 inch plasma

This is the first large TV I have bought on line and the service was really terrific. Using standard delivery the tv showed up 4 days after ordering! the blu-ray player showed up 3 days later. Everything was perfect!! I am impressed.

Samsung 60" Plasma SMART TV

Waited for affordable 3D prices on a 60" Plasma HDTV and I am very pleased. The Plasma HDTV was highly rated over a LCD HDTV for 3D. Although I have not played a 3D movie yet, the Samsung PN60E550 is everything I hoped for. This is a SMART TV with all the bells and whistles and easily attached to my wireless network. No problem attaching the HDMI connections to TV and Receiver.

Very Happy

I upgraded to this TV from an older 1080i rear projection HDTV, and the difference is like night and day. The color reproduction and black levels are amazing, and the 3D is the extra icing on the cake that makes this set really shine. The samsung apps are nice, and include a few apps still not available on the apple tv (HBO GO). Some reviews mentioned a buzzing noise coming from the TV, and while there is some buzzing, it is not significant, and does not detract from the quality of the set. All of my video sources are routed through my receiver. So I can't comment on the sound quality of the tv, other than to say that while lacking, there was no distortion in the sound when I turned up the volume during my initial inspection.

Pros:Great video performance, cost value, and can be hung in the wall.

Cons:Ok, let's be honest. 3D really is a gimmick, but what a gimmick, and it really does work.
Hard to tell if the included 3D glasses are on or off, so battery life may be an issue in the future.

Great TV, good service

Only had the TV for a couple of weeks. So far so good. Was a little worried about the BUZZ some people had experienced, but I don't hear anything from mine. The picture quality is great and we are not distracted by the glare on the glass. Inputting information into the Internet apps is painful with the remote. Takes all the fun out of using them.

Pros:Picture quality, price

Cons:Wish there was a keyboard for TV. The Samsung keyboard will ONLY work with the browser, none of the other apps. Still haven't been able to get Pandora to work.

Fantastic service. Great TV

I got this after reading a report from Consumer Reports. Didn't want to spend the money on an LED and besides Plasma is better for home movies they say. This really is a good quality. Others have faulted this TV saying the glare in a room with lots of light maybe a problem. Not for me. The quality of the Samsung TV is really very good. The controls are very nice. The picture quality really is very very good. Only wish they had an SD card reader and way to hook up a web camera. But maybe I can use the USB port to attach an SD card reader. I think that is possible. But then again at this price I am not complaining. Love the 3D glass and additional ones are only $20 bucks. And they look cool and work very well. Also would have liked a VGA port to hook up my PC. Synching the iPad to watch you tube does not work very well at all. But these are all minor points. Again at this price this really is great value. Great Job Samsung. Crutchfield service was fantastic. Got a call within 5 minutes of purchase. And I liked the fact Crutchfield put every detail on the web site including good photos of the back and front. They even say what's in the box. That was another reason why I choose them even though I could have got this TV for maybe another 50 bucks cheaper. The level of detail and the attention to detail really built my trust in them.

Samsung has glitches

Picture Quality

One of the main reasons I bought this TV was to watch movies. First let me say that I was very pleased with the picture quality. The sound on this TV is just OK. So much so that I felt that I needed to invest in a good sound bar (problem solved). The one and big issue that couldn't be resolved was that once I got the new sound bar, Netflix started to crash. As it turns out, there is a glitch in this TV that Netflix will crash when sound is channeled to external speakers. (Netflix does work on the internal speakers). When sound is set to an external sound bar, anytime you try to volume up or down, Netflix will crash. A Samsung download patch tried to fix the glitch, but only made it worse. The update just crossed internal and external together, which made the sound bar worthless, as with both sets of speakers on, it gave an annoying echo. And speaking of annoying, if you have a sound bar, anytime you volume up or down, you will get an annoying error code on screen saying the internal speakers are disconnected. EVERY TIME! If you are just planning on watching TV with no sound bar, this TV is great. Even with a sound bar, the error code is tolerable. If you want to watch Netflix and have a sound bar, you better continue to look. It should be noted that Crutchfield was awesome on working with me on this issue.

Pros:Picture Quality

Cons:Glitches with external sound bars and Netflix, 3d glasses are very flimsy.

samsung 60 inch smart tv, with wifi, 3d

Fast delivery, technical support is for life and have been very helpful when I called which wasn`t often, easy to set up had to tweek the picture quality a little but the picture is great, great price I shopped around and this tv was at least $600 cheaper, big difference when it comes to watching football

Pros:I like everything about this TV

Cons:samsung doesnt make a keyboard for this tv which is very helpful when using your wifi to set things up but you can get one after market which I did and it works well I got a wireless one with a mouse works fine

Another awesome Samsung TV

Our second Samsung Plasma TV, the last one is a 52" and is still in use with no complaints. The picture is brighter on the new set but still very accurate. The smaller Samsung Plasma is viewed at many angles but this 60" is viewed straight on; I was able to really fine tune it. The kids love the 3D movies but I am most pleased with the size of the TV and the stunning picture. The wireless features are cool and the set can directly connect to my laptop or my router, etc. I am still looking for a wireless keyboard and mouse to go with the TV, the remote is not adequate for effectively typing or scrolling when using the browser. The set was delivered in 2 or 3 days. My friends ask me where I got the set and when I say Crutchfield.com some were unfamiliar - they are accustomed to going to a big box store with a truck and paying sales tax - most looked at me in disbelief when I told them about how excellent this experience was.

Pros:Samsung Quality, Incredible picture, Quick Set-up. Not as heavy as expected (I was able to lift it to the wall mount by myself). Pretty much the ultimate Television - I was prepared to pay more but for the price I got this set, a free Samsung 3D Blue Ray, free shipping, and no sales tax. Overall completely exceeding my expecttions. Family and friends don't believe me when I tell them how much I paid; it looks like top of the line!

Cons:Just that the remote is not adequate for internet browsing (wireless keyboard and mouse are needed).

Excellent TV and superb service

Excellent TV. Picture quality is excellent and it's incredibly easy to use. Setup was nothing. Also, it was delivered in less than 2 business day. Crutchfield did a superb job in getting it to me quickly. That's the first time I've used Crutchfield, but it won't be the last.

Great TV -- But Need to Adjust the Viewing Settings

I bought this TV for my new house because 1) I prefer Plasma to LED--i watch a lot of movies and I do not like how bright the LEDs come across 2) Crutchfield offered a great bundle deal with a free 3D Blue ray player 3) Samsung makes a great product 4) Great price

I have had this TV now for about a month and I absolutely love it. I read other reviews about the glare and have to admit that there is some glare when I have my high hat lights on; I expect all other TVs would have similar glare--not worth not buying this TV. Out of the box, the TV's picture looks dark and the colors are dull. First, adjust the settings off of the Energy save mode--I think Dynamic mode works best (really brings out the color). Then go through the other controls and adjust the bright and contrast to your liking. The speakers on the TV are pretty clear but I have hooked the TV up to a receiver and have ceiling speakers--they are great!!!

Overall, I think this is a great set for a great price and would recommend it to anyone.

Nice Picture!

So far I like the set. The picture is very nice but falls short of mind blowing. It's a very nice set "for the price." I did a significant amount of research and checked with Consumer Reports too and all of the feedback was solid. I think most people would be very happy with this set. I would rate this a 4.5 if I had the chance.

This TV is amazing

Out of the box this TV is stunning, mount it on the wall and it blows you away. The depth and clarity of the picture is nothing short of incredible. There motion and flow is like no other TV I have seen. There is no blur or slow down in high action scenes, video games are clear and crisp. I am totally blown away by this TV. The 60 inch is big and it is heavy, so I recommend having a friend help you if you mount it to the wall. I did so much research before I bought this and it paid off because I got what I wanted in this TV. I love this TV!

Pros:Great picture. 3D is incredible. Video Games will blow you away. Connects easily to your entertainment system. Feature rich for the price. Very stylish. Great internal setting setup. Intuitive menus.

Cons:Sound is sounds like it is in a can from the TV speakers. I use my Receiver and surround sound so it is not an issue. Has Neflix and Pandora, but unless you have an output from your TV input into your Receiver you can't hear them for some reason.

Samsung 60inch 36 plasma

forget what you have heard about plasma tv's , it's all a lie. to start this tv is in my living room which has 8 bay windows with no curtains just blinds and a very large amount of light comes in the room, with that being said this tv is so bright it puts led tv's to shame. with it's glossy glass screen i cannot tell that there is even a glare. i have had 4 tv's in the last 4 months none of them where plasma till this one. to make this short buy this tv i have done the in house research there in no equal for the money and free extras. so after looking at 15 tv's and 4 in house that were returned i came across this spectacular plasma tv with stunning 3d and all kind of picture settings to keep the most picky person very happy. so if you are not sure about what tv to buy look no further, i dare you to take a chance like i did. i know you will not regret it.

Audio Features

SRS TruSurround HD: SRS TruSurround HD is a patented SRS
technology that solves the problem of playing 5.1 multichannel content over two
speakers. TruSurround delivers a compelling, virtual surround sound experience
through any two-speaker playback system, including the internal television
speakers. It is fully compatible with all multichannel formats.

SRS TruDialog: This function allows you to increase the
intensity of voices over background music or sound effects so that dialog can be
heard more clearly.

Auto Volume: Auto Volume automatically adjusts the volume of
the desired channel, lowering the sound output when the modulation signal is
high or raising the sound output when the modulation signal is low. This reduces
the difference in volume when changing channels. The Auto Volume feature can be
set to Normal, Night or Off.

Audio Delay: The Audio Delay function corrects audio/video
mismatch, when watching TV or video, and listening to a digital audio output
using an external device such as an AV receiver. You can adjust the audio delay
from 0ms to 250 ms.

Digital Audio: The optical digital output terminal will
output Dolby Digital (when available) or 2 channel PCM. The digital optical
output terminal only sends an audio signal in Dolby Digital when receiving
Dolby Digital surround sound from a digital broadcast channel through the
tuner on the Plasma TV. The optical digital audio output will only output
in 2ch stereo from sources connected to the TV via HDMI, RCA, or USB.

ARC (Audio Return Channel): The Audio Return Channel in HDMI
1.4 enables a TV, via a single HDMI cable, to send audio data "upstream" to an
A/V receiver; increasing user flexibility and eliminating the need for any
separate S/PDIF audio connection. This feature allows audio to be sent from the
television to your A/V receiver through the same HDMI cable already being used
to send audio/video to the television. This eliminates the need for extra cables
connected to the TV. ARC allows audio from the TV tuner, Network connection,
inserted USB device, HDMI inputs, or any analog connected device to be heard
through your ARC compatible AV receiver via the television's HDMI ARC input. The
audio from the TV's tuner, network connection can pass as Dolby Digital or 2ch
PCM. HDMI, USB, and analog connected devices will be output as 2ch PCM only.

Note: Both the television and the receiver must support
ARC for this function to work properly. When connecting an A/V receiver that
is compatible with Audio Return Channel (ARC), connect it to the TV's HDMI 2
input. If connecting a system that is incompatible Audio Return Channel
(ARC), an additional audio connection via Digital Audio Out (Optical) is
necessary.

Network/USB Functions

Network Connection (wired/wireless): You can set up the
Samsung E550 series Plasma TV so that it can access your home network and
online Samsung Apps through your local area network (LAN) using a wired (RJ-45
Ethernet) or wireless connection (built-in WiFi). You can setup a wired network
connection automatically or manually. You can setup the wireless network
connection using these four methods; PBC (WPS), Auto Network Search, One Foot,
or Manually.

WiFi Direct: When using WiFi Direct, you can connect
directly with other devices without using a wireless router. You'll be able to
wirelessly transfer personal content (such as photos & videos) to the Samsung
Plasma TV without connecting to your home network. WiFi Direct completely
bypasses your WiFi access point/router, so it's easy to set up. Streaming of
copy-protected content and other certain formats are not supported.

AllShare/DLNA Certified: The Samsung E550 series Plasma
TV's AllShare function, along with its DLNA Certification allow you to watch
videos (DIVX/MPEG/H.264/WMV), photos (JPEG/PNG/BMP/MPO)), and listen to music
(MP3/WMA/AAC/FLAC/OGG) saved on your Windows PC (or other DLNA Certified media
server) through the TV via its Ethernet (LAN) port or built-in WiFi (wireless).
This eliminates the need to copy your photo, video, and music files to a
separate USB storage device.

Note: Windows PCs with XP and Vista installed require
Samsung's PC Share Manager software, which can be downloaded for free at
www.samsung.com. Not compatible with older Windows OS versions and Mac.
